On the South Bank and new pencils

I have some new coloured pencils which I tested out today with a few sketches at the the Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank. It's a great place to sketch on a cold day. Loads of good places to sit with fantastic views out to the Thames and the SouthBank area and some serious Brutalist architecture...and I really like the new pencils.


Thames view from the Royal Festival Hall. There are always people sitting around working on laptops making the most of the great views (and free wifi).


The Hayward Gallery. I love the brutalist style of this sixties building, in particlar this part which looks like a concrete monster robot face.

Cooper and Wolf cafe in Hackney serves Scandinavian inspired food. I can recommend the fish cakes.
